Here's why you will love this recipe!
- Simple ingredients: You probably already have most of these in your kitchen.
- Healthy twist: We use oats, nuts, and a touch of honey, so you’re getting fibre, healthy fats, and a naturally sweet flavour.
- Customizable: You can swap in your favorite fruits, nuts, or even add some spices like cinnamon or ginger for extra warmth.
In my recipe, I used milled flaxseeds - this is a staple in my kitchen and I always have a bag ready for some extra fibre in my breakfasts and bakes. I get mine really cheap from Lidl.
If you can't get this where you live, feel free to swap it out for almond flour, oat flour, coconut flour, or any other milled seed you might have!
This crumble is everything you want in a morning dish: hearty, comforting, and satisfying.

The beauty of this recipe is that it’s customizable to your taste and dietary needs, so whether you’re gluten-free, vegan, or just looking for a lighter alternative to traditional crumble recipes, this one fits the bill.
